It turns out that a 10-year-old girl who was entrusted to her aunt’s house died due to the harsh abuse of her aunt couple.
On the 9th, the Yongin East Police Department in Gyeonggi Province applied for an arrest warrant against Mr. A’s couple (in their 40s), who were charged with violating the Special Act on Penalties for Child Abuse Crimes.
Whether or not they will be arrested is expected to be decided as early as tomorrow afternoon.
According to the police, for the past three months, Mr. A and Mrs. A, who had been raised as their nephew B (10), abused him, hitting him with a plastic stick, etc., and dipping his head in a bathtub because Mr. B urinates and does not listen well.
Then, on the 8th, when Ms. B was not breathing and slackened, she stopped acting and reported. The paramedics dispatched at 12:35 p.m. were transferred to the hospital while performing CPR on Ms. B, who had a cardiac arrest, but died.
During this process, hospital medical staff and paramedics found bruises on both sides of the body of B and reported suspected child abuse to the police. Subsequently, the police received a statement from Mr. B’s husband and wife that “there was the fact that they lightly beat a child several times”, and arrested them urgently on charges of violating the special law on punishment of child abuse crimes.
On this day, the autopsy doctor who autopsied Ms. B’s body made the first observation that “it is presumed to have died from secondary shock.”
Subcutaneous bleeding caused by trauma decreases circulating blood and causes shock, meaning that it appears to have died.
In fact, it is known that on Ms. B’s body, numerous bruises caused by assault were found all over the body including the thigh. In addition, traces of being tied to Ms. B’s arm were also found.
The exact cause of death of Ms. B is expected to be confirmed two weeks after the detailed autopsy results are released.
It is reported that the police are considering whether a change to murder crime can be applied to the A couple.
A police official said, “We plan to comprehensively examine the facts revealed through the investigation and accurate death of Miss B, which will be confirmed in the future, and consider a plan to turn the charges of Mr. A into murder.”
